Diane's Fast and Festive Cookie Mix image

From my neighbor - each year we trade plates of Holiday cookies - she gave me this basic recipe for a basic cookie mix and five recipes that use the mix probably a good 15 years ago. It's a real time saver! You can even make it up and use it year round if you have a houseful of cookie hounds. I think she got the recipe in one of those little holiday cookie cookbooks by Pillsbury you find at the grocery store check out during the holidays.

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cup(s) all purpose flour
3 1/2 cup(s) sugar

2 cup(s) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a 4 quart bowl or container, combine 1/2 each of the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • With a fork or pastry blender, cut half the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Repeat the first two steps with the remaining ingredients. Transfer the mix to a tightly covered container. Store in the freezer or refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
  • When you are ready to make cookies, remove the amount you need and let it come to room temperature before adding the other ingredients to make the recipes.
